EThe duel that closed the group in which Italy I was classified half to two teams that had a clear premise. Winning without concession, something that did not happen. Colombia because they fell in the first clash, while the United States by giving up a set in the second round by means of John Isner against Galn added to Germany’s victory over Austria in Innsbruck.
They jumped opening the track Tiafoe with Meja. The American made his debut in the 2021 finals and is the great American hope after shining in tournaments such as One. On the other side of the net a player who had disturbed the Italian number 2 at home, Lorenzo Sonego.
The clash opened evenly until in the ninth game there was a new surprise from the coffee grower. The kick of Tiafoe and the set. A replay of the duel before Sonego, and with a robe of the second that was also seen again. Just start the second Tiafoe It made him break, and prevented a party in the bosom of the Colombians. He prevailed in the set 6-3 equalized the duel.
The third sleeve was not going to fail to show that no matter how much the ranking says. Nicolas Meja has fallen to his feet in the finals of the Davis Cup. And that is the 275th of the world. It was a third set of heart attack that went to the tiebreaker, and the Colombian had up to two match points. Tiafoe save them, to kill as soon as the minibreak did. Put the 1-0 and eliminated Colombia of the fight for the ‘Silver Salad Bowl‘.
Isner does not comply
But I had to meet John Isner and that did not happen. The American was still out of his ideal state of form, as he showed before Sinner, and concede a set with little opposition to the Colombian number 1, Galn. That lost sleeve plus the victory of Germany against Austria kept Americans out of the Davis Cup.
To make matters worse, the annoyances came to Isner, which shot with pride in the second sleeve. He took it and the match went to the third set in which everything was decided in the tiebreaker. There, he would fall back into his sins and lose. His second loss in the Davis and makes him leave the tournament without adding individual matches.
